Unqualified support for Zionism is bipartisan in the US establishment

Evidence

WINEP, for instance, has a “mix of neoconservative and Clintonite views,” according to Maria Ryan. WINEP was founded by Martin Indyk, who formerly served as the research director of the pro-Israel lobby group American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). James Woolsey, Perle, and Wolfowitz served on its board, and Muravchik and Pipes were adjunct scholars. During the 1990s, though, WINEP was largely supportive of Clinton’s policies and many of its leading lights, including Indyk, joined the Clinton administration. Unqualified support for Zionism is a bipartisan requirement in the US policy establishment. — Deepa Kumar, Islamophobia and the Politics of Empire, 401
